Mountain Ascetic - Legend

Risking sounding like a noob, but what do you do when your wanted friend monsters flake for the rest of the day?

Guan Yinping team is perfect for this. You'll have well over 30,000 HP. Get Ogre active ready before FL 4.

Guan Yinping
Echidna
Ice Samurai Ogre
Gigas
King Bubblie
Guan Yinping

FL 1 - Ninja > Goblin > Orge
FL 2 - Neneko > Manekimewdra > Hamahime
FL 3 - Kill normally
FL 4 - Ice Strike
FL 5 - Use Echidna. Tengu will give 2 more turns < 40%. So you have a total of 6 to 8 turns to finish. (I haven't had to use more than 5 turns.) Wait for a good board to use Bubblie. Add Gigas, GY actives to increase ATK.

Why run this dungeon?
- Tengu's 3 skill up awakenings.
- Tengu is a critical sub in my KoG farming team with Kirin leads.

Unless you are extremely good at matching orbs, I highly recommend that you avoid the robin x2 team. I match on average 7, but hitting the multiplier bonus consistently with low hp is not a smart choice.

Tengu has a cost of 20, it can't be in this dungeon! Nice try puzzle dragons you sneaky sneaky

For people in late game, you can use the fat metal dragon (#1324) as a stat stick. It's team cost is only 1.

Thoughts on using the new Souther from fist of the north star to beat this dungeon? You can use a shin as a sub, angelit for some rcv, maybe a valkyrie, high light ninja would be better, and finally a king baddie for some burst on the boss? Please let me know if you, or someone you know, tries this.

My first attempt at this ugly guy:

1349 Exa-hydra
1761 Burning Bowl Dragon, Gyundo
1761 Burning Bowl Dragon, Gyundo
1765 Moon Kettle Bowl Dragon, Hagamar
964 Hellfire Dragon, Inferno
1349 Exa-hydra

All max level and awoken

Decent hp (51104 at full max without any +eggs) and nice recovery (over 1150 although for this HP it isn't too much)

4x atk all the time (except eventual bind of course)

Nearly fire-only setup - helps stalling

4 skill boosts
3 autoheals (additional 1500 HP per round)

Nearly fully farmable (and only REM hydra is rem-troll so fairly easy to get)


The trick is to stall for about 20 rounds before tengu - it isn't easy-peasy but try chip some rounds at each floor - no one can kill you easy but healing isn't easy too.
Those trash mobs die too fast - you will finally get an fire skyfall even if you are master of disaster.

But there is a chance - Will'o'Wisps.

But two of them are hitting too hard to withstand and heal - kill one of them very carefully - do not kill both (I suggest using damage calculator there).

If you have problem breaking their defence (very possible - and helps stalling alot) just use Hellfire Dragon active - you will need at least 3 red combos and some other to break them. Be carefull when disposing red orbs from board - one red troll-skyfall and you may be in trouble.

You will have your gundos (1 round delay) ready earlier but do not leave stalling for boss level - he can use binding at his first move (he did that to me) - possibly blocking both your leaders and you will die.

So use one hydra initially (ew gyundo but watch out for dangerous bind) and hit him.

I didn't even have to use the second hydra - he died at 5 round.
But eventually you can do this anyway - at all cost try then force him to use "Focus..."

If you are completly out of luck (or heavy orb trolled) you can eventually use Hagamar active and withstand even "What lives..." - using then Gyundos delay and stealing some more rounds.

If you can stall for hydras active before Tengu the rest is a piece of cake. This isn't too hard with this high HP and those Will'o'wisps.

For me it's very reliable and easy to get team (no skillups, no +eggs no Guan Yinping which is harder to get than Tengu) even for low level players with some skill.

Hardest part is finding a Guan Yiping friend, next hardest part is dealing with orb or heart troll on the boss. For that reason I recommend either bringing double Gigas so you can have two bursts since you have two Guan Yiping (if you're running that) or double delay. Red Bowl Dragon is great here for his mini-nuke and his stats far outclass Echidna if you can make do with just a 1-turn delay. I beat this through sheer luck (skyfalled more fire combos on Tengu).

It might not look like it, but Tengu can bind on his first turn. If you are counting on your leaders to survive, don't chance it.

tamadra build....

isn't so"DERPDERP"
even though successfully clearing the board while healing the whole time,
PAD responds with MAJOR orb troll.
unless you got the time to maxskill the little ones, instead of using every precious one to skill-up their older OG siblings from another mother...
join me on the dark side, against "DERPDERP"
- after the realization you just wasted time and exp to max level the little ones



*that moment where you are awestruck
your box focused on different combinations of ultevo, awoken, hypermaxed GODS
are USELESS in helping you obtain a littlexmasthemedmoutaintrolllookingmf


the monsters abandoned long time ago and fed to REMGODS 300ranks ago....
are much missed right now *sobbingwithsomuchregret

Nobody on my friend list ever has a low cost leader up... I have to ask around every time.

I want to recommend fat chocobo as a sub on any team for this dungeon. He has around 5k hp, and a good orb refresh active (although slow cool down).
I found a max level guan yin ping friend, and my total hp was 47k

It's tough running a tank team, so comboing high and being smart with stalling and hearts is important.

I used a completely farmable team,

Guan yinping, ice samurai ogre (Freeze strike for floor 4), flame Sprite parrot with 3 skillups, gigas at skill level 4, and fat chocobo no skill.

More skillups is great, and = less stalling. More levels = more stats, easier gameplay.

I tried to combo high, but I also need to thank the sky fall gods for helping me do a little more damage here and there.

Stall wherever you can, and pop a lot of actives on boss floor.
BE CAREFUL OF BIND. I got lucky, and only one guan yin ping got bound. I whittled him down to 40%, and killed him with gigas.

Good luck!
(Dub metalit is good for farming ogres if you're looking for a freeze strike)
(Rare monster carnival is good for flame sprites)

1.5x Buff to Balanced?

No worries, Pandora has her own buff lol. Breezed through it with her!

Man, it's great to breeze through Tengu now with a Bastet team, even though they didn't buff this dungeon that much (it really shows itself like an older descend). Can't wait to face Gaia again, without restrictions this time hehehe....

Verd team worked fine here, used 1-2 skills and tpas to breakthrough lil' fires defense. Hallelujah to no more low-cost business!

The best dungeon for + eggs is Tengu Descended, Master during 10x descends AND 1.5x drop on coin.

Worst case you get 3 eggs for 30 stam.
Best case you get 5 eggs for 30 stam.

You have 60% drop rate on fl. 5
You have 66% drop rate on fl. 3

13.6% chance for 3+ eggs
46.8% change for 4+ eggs
39.6% chance for 5+ eggs

Essentially, you have an 86% chance of having a BETTER + egg / stam ratio, and a 14% chance of having the same ratio as Training Path (currently 10 stam / + egg), and still even better than Hera Sowilo 7+ drop (very rare) of 7.1 stam/+egg.

Now compare to Katesugu! where you have the following:

17% chance for 5 drop (10 stam/+)
50% chance for 6 drop (8.3 stam/+)
33% chance for 7 drop (7.1 stam+)

Tengu Descended Master during 10x + descends and 1.5x drop on coins is the best dungeon hands down (at this time).

Pretty straight-forward with following and 0 stones

Leader: Awoken MeiMei, fully awoken
Subs: Miko Goddess of Protection, Kushadahime, fully awoken, Creation Empress Izanami, fully awoken, Dancing Mad Kefka + 263, Sea Deity Heaven's Neptune, fully awoken
Friend: Seraph of Corruption, Lucifer, fully awoken

Total HP over 30,000 and autoheal of 4,000.

Floor 1: Focus on the Red Goblin, then the Wood Ninja. Keep HP while building skills. Use Divine Protection and Damage Reduction when needed.
Floor 2: Same tactics as Floor 1.
Floor 3: Use Hydra's Poison.
Floor 4: Destroy one Wisp with Hyperdrive. Stall and build skills. Destroy with Hydra Poison or Hyperdrive.
Floor 5:Keep HP and stall for all skills. Once Focus My Mind, Morningstar, Hyperdrive, Hydra Poison, the Genbu's Seven Star Formation.

Tengu's active is useless. But when max evolved, has 4 skill+ and 1 SBR. Farm 13 and max skill him, then add assist with good active, suddenly it becomes a useful sub for many teams.

Am I the only one thinking that a Flare Drall might be useful here? Since all the heavy hitters here are either wood or flame.

what's the point of this dungeon, specifically for that leaderskill you should be able to avoid using if you're not terrible?

Main reason why I need asuka-chan

Asuka-minotaur-samuri goblin-flamie-hellfire pyro demon with asuka lead. Mino, goblin and pyro max skilled with pyro awoken...think it's possible?

They made tengu easy now...At least for March. Can we hope for Gaia to go like this too?

The first round is the hardest, after that its easy

I am sitting here trying to figure out how to do this with my monsters and so far no real solutions. I did realize something amusing though. If you had 2 max skill echidnas and 3 max skill shaitans you could avoid tengu's damage for an infinite number of rounds. Then the last spot would be an ogre or something to get past the wisps. Not sure why anyone would have 3 max skilled shaitan and 2 max skilled echidna, but the thought is amusing.

Once I saw one of these things in my garden. I think it was trying to eat the bunnies or something. It was hidin in a plant and I snuck up on it and tried to catch it but I didn't see his teeny knife thing so it cost me my two stones. I guess you can still be a stepdad without stones.
